Farm training for the future

Larkmead Farm Vets strongly believe in investing in the future of farming in the UK. As well as encouraging staff development, we also facilitate many on-farm and classroom-based training programmes specifically designed for stockmen and women. Most of our vets have completed the LANTRA ‘train the trainer’ course and use this knowledge to help to deliver engaging and informative meetings.

We run a dairy discussion group that meets at least 4 times a year on farm to discuss topical issues that can help to improve health, welfare and productivity across the dairy industry.

We also offer EMS placements for student vets, a role we feel is important to ensure continued good quality veterinary provision for future farming generations.
